Mark 178 Report post Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) Bigger wheels won't fix your ground clearance problem. No matter the size of the wheel, they have the same or similar rolling circumference as a factory wheel and tyre. All that happens as you increase rim size is that the tyre size gets smaller. If the rolling circumference of the wheels was different you'd have all sorts of problems with your speedo being out of whack etc. To fix your problem you need to replace your springs with ones that aren't so low.

Mark 178 Report post Posted March 11, 2010 Damian, please refrain from consistently posting new threads on this same topic. I have merged with your old thread again. If you're not having much luck perhaps that is because no one has any appropriate wheels for sale. Cheers, Mark. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
